Staga, since you're here playing ah with a gf2mx, what's your framerate when you use fsaa? Anyone else with a mx, v5, radeon by all means respond with your framerates as well(along with resolution, bit depth, & cpu speed like Staga did the first time).

Don't count the ATI Radeon out.

I use a 3DfX 5500 on my main computer because it has excellent Windows 2000 drivers. However, when I want to run my computer at 1600x1200 res and 32bit color, I use the radeon. It gives about 28fps on the ground at a typical airport in fighter, and approx 37fps in flight at 1600x1200 res and 32 bit color. I only use the radeon in Win98, the Win2000 drivers really are lousy on that video card at this point.

I can assure you that at 1600x1200 res and 32 bit color, the radeon leaves the 5500 behind in the dust.

I bought my Radeon at Best Buy for $199 and then received $50 off that price with a rebate card. If you want really high res for a decent price AND you use Win98, consider the radeon.

The links I posted above seem to show that the Radeon is faster than the v5 for most things.  The Radeon's and ATI's biggest problem is their drivers.  Just about all of ATI's latest drivers have either poor performance, bugs, or texture problems.

For all out speed, Nvidia's products have no equal.
